100 things to eat…Stops 6 & 7

A trip to the Iowa State Fair allowed me to check off Stops 6 and 7 on my list of 100 things in Iowa to eat before I die. Although I had tried Bauder Pharmacy’s  peach ice cream (#34) once before, it somehow tasted better when eaten under the hot sun on the fair midway. The ice cream tastes more natural than it does bold, which is why many fans will forego more readily available imitators until summer rolls around. In addition, the corn dog from Campbell’s Concessions (#36) immediately won my vote as the top item on a stick…both within and outside of the fairground gates. Campbell’s batter was thick, flavorful, and perfectly crunchy—a true fair delight!
